Why the Markilux MX-2 is Different

MX-2 Color bicolour system: 10 predefined combinations of cassette roof + hardware + coordinated fabric recommendation. The only Markilux awning with a systematised colour scheme.

Award-winning fluid organic design: German Design Award + iF Design Award. Cassette with gentle curves at the ends — a formal language that the straight-lined 970 cannot offer.

Based on Markilux 970 technology: all the technical reliability of the best-selling model, with the design of the most expressive one. Invisible wall-flush brackets.

Bicolour system · 10 predefined combinations

Cassette roof and hardware colour in coordinated predefined combinations. Fabric freely selectable from Collection One (over 200 designs) or according to the coordinated recommendation for each combination.

Fluid organic design · curves at the ends

Sleek, elongated cassette profile with gently curved ends. A formal language that contrasts with straight-lined models and brings warmth and dynamism to the façade.

Invisible brackets · wall-flush fitting

Easy-to-install brackets that are completely hidden when the cassette is closed. No visible metal elements to interrupt the model’s line on the façade.

LED-Spots and LED-Line (optional)

LED-Spots beneath the cassette and continuous LED-Line, dimmable via io technology — remote control, app or Smart Home.

Infrared heater (optional)

Integratable into the casing for terrace use beyond summer. Same system available as on the Markilux 6000.

Smart Home · Sensors · Bionic tendon

Compatible with Somfy TaHoma, KNX and Loxone. Automatic sun and wind sensors. Markilux bionic tendon at the central joint.

The cassette awning that expresses itself in colour and form

In a catalogue where most models compete on the precision of their straight lines, the Markilux MX-2 cassette awning takes the opposite approach: an organic, fluid formal language, with the cassette ending in gentle curves at both ends, bringing warmth and dynamism to façades where a square cassette would feel excessively cold. This design has earned it the German Design Award and the iF Design Award. The MX-2 is based on the same technology as the Markilux 970, meaning it inherits all of its reliability — the difference lies in the formal language and its revolutionary two-colour system. Cortinsa, as an official Markilux installer in Barcelona and Madrid, handles colour configuration, on-site measurement, and certified installation.

The two-colour system of the Markilux MX-2 Color is the model’s most distinctive feature: the cassette top and hardware colour can be combined in ten predefined combinations — from warm earth tones to high-contrast contemporary pairings — with the fabric chosen freely from the Markilux Collection One. It is the only option in the Markilux catalogue that systematises colour personalisation. For those seeking two-colour cassette awnings for terraces in Barcelona, the MX-2 is the reference.

The MX-2 cassette incorporates options for LED-Spots beneath the cassette and continuous LED-Line, both dimmable via Smart Home. With a maximum inclination of 25° and available in up to 600 × 300 cm or 500 × 350 cm, it is particularly suited to contemporary residential terraces where the awning must integrate without dominating. Invisible brackets ensure no visible metalwork interrupts the model’s line on the façade.

For interior design projects where the visual identity of the terrace is part of the brief, the MX-2 offers an argument that other models cannot. For architects who need to specify the system, Cortinsa provides BIM files in the Cortinsa BIM Library. For projects requiring lateral protection, we also install ZIP vertical awnings and bioclimatic pergolas that can be coordinated with the MX-2.
